3. Market participants: Asian investors will flock to safe havens and bet on Trump's victory
After the unsuccessful Trump assassination attempt, traders will initially flock to safe-haven assets and reevaluate the trades most relevant to their election when markets open, market watchers said. "There is no doubt that Asian markets will flow to protective or safe-haven assets in early trading," said Nick Twidale, chief market analyst at ATFX Global Markets, "I think gold may hit new highs, we will see the yen and dollar be bought, and money flowing into United States Treasuries." "However, early market views suggest that the shooting will improve Trump's chances of winning the election, which will shift the focus to the securities most affected by his policies and could ultimately negatively impact United States Treasuries." Assets linked to the so-called "Trump deal" range from dollars to United States Treasuries, but also stocks in private prisons, credit card companies and health insurance companies.
4. Market analysis: gold prices may consolidate in the short term, but the market sentiment is positive
Marc Chandler, managing director of Bannockburn Globa, said that the trend for gold is still upward. "Gold rose for the third week in a row, helped by lower interest rates in United States and a weaker dollar," he wrote. "Gold surged to nearly $2,425 following the release of weak CPI data, and speculation that the Fed could cut rates more than twice this year, with a 40% chance of three cuts. Gold prices are likely to see some consolidation in the short term, but the market sentiment is positive. "Separately, we note that while China's Central Bank may not have bought gold last month, other central banks in Asia and Europe are reportedly buying gold, and UBS's survey of 40 central banks found that the biggest concerns were geopolitical tensions and the weaponization of reserves," he added. ”
5. Iraq: Compensatory production cuts will be made until the end of September 2025
